After being separated for 7 years, my favorite band of all time (actually is one of my two favorite band, along with The Mars Volta), has finally come together once again.
Rage Against The Machine (RATM for short) split up in 2000 with the guitarist Tom Morello, basist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk forming part of Audioslave, while singer Zack de La Rocha started low-key solo career.However, early this year rumours started spreading that they might be getting back together to Coachella (maybe the most important music festival on Earth), which was confirmed a couple of months ago. And now I’ve found the videos from that concert:

“Testify” by Rage Against The Machine, Live at Coachella 2007:

Here’s the single that caught my attention:

“Fear of a Blank Planet” is a very good album, mixing so many different genres that becomes difficult to label it, many fans usually label Porcupine Tree as “progressive rock”. However, Steve Wilson is know to dislike this tendency.

Wilson: “Porcupine Tree music is very very simple. There’s nothing complex about it at all. The complexity is in the production. The complexity is in the way the albums are constructed. All of the work goes into creating the texture and the sound, and making it sound right. There’s nothing complicated about the music at all. And that’s really why I have to take issue when people describe us as progressive rock. I don’t think we are a progressive rock band. I think we’re just a rock band. I think what leads people to give it that kind of progressive tag is the way the songs are produced.”

Just to finish this post I leave you the lyrics to this awesome music: Fear of a Blank Planet @ MetroLyrics
